Neco Model Questions Vol1 2021 Biology Question 16
Practice objective / multiple choice question 16 from the 2021 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A 30‑year‑old female weighs 65 kg and is 160 cm tall. Using the Harris‑Benedict equation for females, her basal metabolic rate (BMR) is given by \( \text{BMR}=655+9.6W+1.8H-4.7A \) where \(W\) is weight in kg, \(H\) height in cm and \(A\) age in years. She is moderately active with an activity factor of 1.55, so her total energy expenditure (TEE) is \( \text{TEE}=\text{BMR}\times1.55 \). She wishes to lose weight by creating a daily deficit of 500 kcal. If she plans that 20 % of her target calories should come from protein and each gram of protein provides 4 kcal, how many grams of protein should she consume each day? Give your answer to the nearest gram.
